The Mistletoe Drone

This is the mistletoe that imparts whimsical cheer to holiday gatherings when hovered remotely over celebrants’ heads. Rooted in antiquity as a symbol of fertility and later adopted by Norse mythology to induce celebratory kissing, this flying version—developed by Hammacher Schlemmer—hovers in-place using a pair of counter-rotating rotors that provide in-air stability. For indoor line-of-sight operation, the infrared remote provides digital proportional throttle and directional control, enabling precise placement of the mistletoe for optimal effect. Up to 20 independently controlled mistletoes can be flown without radio interference to infuse Christmas parties with unrestrained Yuletide mirth. Its rechargeable battery provides up to five minutes of amorous (or awkward) potential from a 30-minute charge with the remote (requires six AA batteries). 6 3/4" H x 8 3/4" Diam. (2 oz.)
